Paul is a consummate professional. Among the many attorneys and law firms that I interviewed for my matter, Paul stood out among all of the rest and chose him based on his experience and clear understanding of the complex securities issue I had presented him. As a professional with a background in retail securities, I had spoken to many attorneys before Paul who didn’t even seem to speak the basic language related to general securities issues, yet Paul understood from day one of our initial conversation. Extraordinary timely responses to my phone calls, questions and emails and overall excellent follow through . His willingness to listen, pay attention to the minute details of the matter and stay on task through by keeping in regular communication via phone and email with me truly sets him apart from the many in his field. I would recommend Paul as it pertains to specific securities matters without hesitation.

I had a class a misdemeanor for unlawful carry of a firearm. The first lawyer I hired wanted to send me to veterans court, do probation and all kinds of crazy stuff he wasn’t fighting for me at all. I called Shawn and he worked with me on his fees. He said he’d do his best, but no guarantees and got the case dismissed. I pray I don’t have any more problems but if I do, I’m calling Shawn first. He’s a nice guy and even though I was nervous, he worked with me and got me through this process. I very grateful for a lawyer like him.

I highly recommend Shawn Roberts for anyone needing a criminal defense attorney. He was very honest, and easy to communicate. He handled the case with care and kept me updated every step of the way!

Shawn was able to get me the best possible outcome in a situation where my loved ones nor I could think was feasible. Without Shawn in my corner, my future looked bleak. I was facing an overzealous charge that because of my history, had me looking at the rest of my life behind bars. Shawn came in with great confidence and the knowledge to back it up. I appreciate his dedication, tenacity and compassion for people like me, who feel like the system is setup for failure. I was looking at 25-life and he managed to get me 6 months. Shawn gave me hope that there are still good people in this cold world and I would highly recommend hiring him to have your back as well! He is expensive but worth every dollar. After all how much is a year of your life worth? Much less 25? I thank God for him every day!

I could go on & on about how amazing Shawn is.. He is truly the best at what he does, he has a gift, an art and makes what seems impossible, possible. From the very beginning he was honest, helpful, walked me through everything I needed at any turn while fighting my husbands case. He is a man of his word and he will shoot you straight and I loved that about him. It’s not everyday that you find someone who truly cares about their clients and getting things done. You get what you pay for and he’s worth every single dime. I will forever recommend him to anyone who is need of a lawyer. Not only was Shawn our lawyer, he became a very trusted friend and I’d even go so far to say, family. Shawn, our family is forever indebted to you for the hard work, faith, and everything you poured into this case and our entire family. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You deserve all the blessings coming your way. We couldn’t have gotten the crazy amazing outcome we did without you. Thank you for being a great human being and an even better lawyer. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about you and your work.
- ★★★★★Excellent Lawyer; He got me a full dismissal!

I retained Mr. Tyson this past spring to defend me on a criminal mischief charge. After reviewing my case, Mr. Tyson explained the legal process to me and what he would be doing. He also provided me up-to-date statistics on his trial and dismissal records. They were excellent. I told him that my goal was to have the charge completely dismissed. He assured me that there was no need to take any kind of deal with my case because outright dismissal should be doable. In order to do that, he explained, we may have to keep going to court until we got the desired outcome but that this was all included in the retainer -- the only additional cost would be if the case had to be tried. He did explain to me that there was a possibility the case would have to be tried if he couldn't get the prosecutor to drop the case otherwise and that this would be an additional expense. "Some cases just have to be tried." That being said, I was confident that had the case gone to trial, Mr. Tyson would have provided the best representation available to me. Now I am working with him to have this charge expunged from my record. All in all I would recommend you at least have your case reviewed by Mr. Tyson.
- ★★★★★Excellent Attorney, Wonderful person

This is an amazing person and a GREAT attorney. I have known George for a while. He helped me get a bogus DWI case dismissed. I would recommend this attorney to anyone who has criminal charges.
- ★★★★★He went out of his way

I had something come up, quite unbelievable to be honest, and really didn't know what to do or where to turn, since I had never been in this predicament. I made contact with Mr Tyson. He was out of town attending a funeral but he still made time to listen to me. The case is in San Antonio and he was very honest in that I should use an attorney in San Antonio. He said that if I didn't hear from him by 2 pm the following day, then he asked me contact him back. Well, he contacted me a few hours later with the contact of the top attorney for my case. George Tyson did something a lot of business don't do today, he went out of his way for me. Many thanks George Tyson!
- ★★★★★Excellent DWI Attorney

I had a brush with the law a few months ago while visiting Houston and was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol. It was a pretty terrible experience, as I knew very little about the city. I called a few attorneys and spoke with them - all of them seemed competent and promisin g - however, after speaking with Mr. Tyson I felt like "this is who I need to use if I really want the NO BS, take care of this now kind of dwi attorney." (As an out of state guy, the DIVERT programs, etc., where not an option that locals have, so - and it probably really wan't like this - but I felt like it was all or nothing.) Mr. Tyson was able to get the case dismissed before going to trial based on a lack of evidence. I can't thank you enough for all of your help! Truly an excellent defense attorney.
- ★★★★★Honest and Excellent

I originally contacted Mr. Tyson and asked him to review my case and give me an honest answer about what results I may have. I was charged with a 1st degree felony and every lawyer I talked to told me I was going to have deal with this charge heavily. Mr. Tyson predicted he could reduce my charge f rom 1st degree felony down to a state jail felony. Needless to say, and happily as well, he was %100 able to do so, I walked away with a special probation and had my felony deferred! I couldn't ask for a better result. He is also instantly recognizable in the criminal court building downtown. His case reviews are free and I've recommend my friends to give him a call if they run into an trouble.
- ★★★★★Professional and Highly Recommended

I can't say enough good things about this firm, we had no idea what to do or how to proceed, the firm stepped in and lead us through a very difficult time, explaining the legal process and always being responsive to all our needs and questions, and ultimately was able to get the charges dismissed.

Grant Sheiner was recommended to me by a friend when I found myself needing an Attorney. I was being charged with a felony and would soon be arrested. I was terrified and at a loss as to what to do. I contacted Grant. During our conversation, Grant was able to calm me down and let me know he would be by my side the whole way. During the process, Grant and Macie were able to get me a plea. The Plea reduced the charges to a misdemeanor with two years’ probation. Grant is very knowledgeable of the law, effective and very personable. I feel extremely fortunate to have had Grant and Macie on my side during my ordeal. I am incredibly grateful to both of them for their help. The Sheiner Law Group is the team you want when you need an Attorney.
- ★★★★★Best Defense Attorney

When my child was facing very serious charges, I knew that I needed an experienced attorney. It was so refreshing to work with Scheiner Law Group because Grant Scheiner and his Associates took the time to research and understand the facts of the case in order to provide the best defense ever. The o utcome was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend Scheiner Law Group.

If you are going through rough times and you are trying to find a firm that will look after your personal interest and are not after the money - look no further, Scheiner Law Group is the best choice. I went through two different law firms before god guided me to Mr. Scheiner. I noticed a big diff erence between my him and my prior legal advisors. Ever since the beginning my family and I knew that he was the right person to go to. His expertise, professionalism and determination were the key in the case´s outcome. His professional demeanor and dedication to my case not only provided me with the comfort and security needed to go through the most difficult time of my life, but truly went above and beyond my expectations. My family and I will always be grateful that god guided me to the Scheiner group and will continue to use them and recommend his legal services for life.

I can’t thank my lawyer enough for their support and hard work. They treated me with respect, listened to my concerns, and truly cared about my situation. Communication was excellent, and I always felt informed and prepared. Having them on my side made a difficult experience much easier to handle. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an attorney who genuinely advocates for their clients.
- ★★★★★Very profesional, compassionate and reliable!

Writing this review regarding my father's case, but writing this from also having a great experience with Mr. Mintzer. He is truly an outstanding criminal defense attorney. From my dad’s very first meeting, he was honest, attentive, and completely focused on helping him. He took the time to explai n every part of the process and fought hard to protect him. Their courtroom presence and negotiation skills were impressive — it was clear he was respected by judges and prosecutors alike. What stood out most was his genuine care and communication. He never felt like “just another client.” He answered every question, no matter how small, and gave us confidence during one of the most stressful times. Thanks to their expertise, my dad’s case was resolved and dismissed even before the judge showed up in the court room, the outcome was much better than I ever expected. I can’t thank Mr. Mintzer enough and would recommend him to anyone in need of strong, reliable defense.

I’ve used Rand for all of my legal matters. Every time I see him, I hope it’s the last but when I do, I’m always glad looking up and seeing him turn the corner. He’s an experienced attorney with strong relationships in the Harris County system and consistently provides a path aimed at getting cases d ismissed before trial. His plans have worked every time. That process may require passing a polygraph, staying clean for a few months, or the hardest of them all staying out of trouble. Thank you Rand I hope this time is the last time.
- ★★★★★THE BEST!

It was a great experience since the first call in a really important case for my future, it was the only one who had a plan after hearing about my case and understood; A plan he executed perfectly. I realized I was in great hands right away, with somebody who had the hard skills and knowledge from years of experience, but also the soft skills at the court. He understood the importance of my case and made a stressful situation easier to handle with clear communication of all the steps with professionalism and genuine empathy. Thanks Mr. Rand!
